Potting Bench

 Hi Everyone
 Happy Monday

Our Potting bench was a garage sale find definatley worth
the $40 dollar price tag
 We knew when we found it that it would fit perfectly
right here on our brick patio by the herb garden
via 
This was the inspiration picture we had for the space
we had every intention of painting
 our little potting bench
 white

 When handsome husband placed the potting bench
on the patio we both looked at each other in surprise
The wonderful  time worn wood
seem to fit right in the space

 Our vintage hose nozzle collection
{not sure when that happened}
 fit right in
{Love}
So we decided to
 live with it
"as is"
and  not paint it for a little while
You can see
we never did paint it white
So when we had the paint brushes out to paint
  this yesterday
A vintage oak hall tree that needs so much work
 can't wait to try chalk paint on this treasure and see
if we can bring it back to life
We both agreed that the potting bench
looks just right as is...
so grateful we did not paint it right away
What do you think would you paint it white?

  1. I love it without the paint. it's best to live with a new treasure as is for a while... If it still looks like it needs something a few weeks later then go for it.. but mostly, like you, I am glad not to do "fixups" too quickly.

  6. I think it looks wonderful as is! You can always treat it with some oil but otherwise I would leave it. Love the hose nozzles!
